felt there was a certain sense of irony (or maybe futility) to the fact that wool pads were used by the cleaners thinking they were giving those left inside a better view (or maybe not; just why "everyone cleaned" was a fascinating topic itself within the silo), when in fact, the simple act of "cleaning" played an intrinsic role in the inhabitants having the wool pulled over their eyes for so long.

I am also really enjoying Molly Fyde and will be starting on book 4 as my next book.

I like DiapDealer's suggestion about the title.

In regards to a Molly Fyde omnibus, that would be cool but those books were quite a bit longer than the Wool books. Also, I thought I had read a comment from someone on Hugh's website about a book 5 for Molly. Guess we'll see!

I thought the mayor was knitting wool -- there are also the book subtitles that make reference to knitting ("Book 2 - Proper Gauge" "Book 3 - Casting Off" etc). But I just looked at Book 2 and in fact she is knitting cotton, so I was wrong about that.
